With Ubuntu 14.04, I happily used gnome-session-fallback until yesterday, when a regular update broke my top bar panel after reboot. I now have access to the shortcuts I added, but the "system" icons are gone:

enter image description here

I have no more the symbol (?) giving access to logout, restart, system, ... The clock, sound icon, network manager, language,.. have also disappeared (see this example panel:)

enter image description here

I tried really lots of things, including reinstalling with apt-get --reinstall install, switching to mate (was the same !), returning to gnome-session-fallback, trying out gnome-shell whith lightgdm, removing it...

I'm just stuck with my partial top panel ! My system seems to work, but I'm afraid there some inconsistencies left...

More info:

  • Both $DESKTOP_SESSION and $GDMSESSION are set to gnome-fallback-compiz
  • wmctrl -m tells me:

out:

Name: Compiz
Class: N/A
PID: N/A
Window manager's "showing the desktop" mode: OFF

Any clues of the following steps I can take ? At present, can't shutdown from the GUI, I need to enter shutdown now in terminal.

Probably you need to reset your session. Delete any cached configuration in your $HOME folder, within the dot folders (.config, .gnome). Afterwards, you would need to reallocate your icons and applets.

Fixed problem after some time, answering own question for future readers:

What I was missing in my panel is named an indicator-applet (see packages here ).

Once I made sure it was correctly reinstalled (with sudo apt-get --reinstall install indicator-applet-complete), I just edited my panel (Win+Alt+right-click) and added the applet, as explained in this question.

Now, only need to fix the position in the panel, buts thats a minor problem.
